Any chance of Paypal for the fiver? That would save me a stamp.

I don’t think I missed anyone. If I did give a holler.
As for the folks who have not nailed down their side dishes, may I respectfully request breadage? Biscuits, corn bread, a loaf of Italian bread…Kaiser rolls, whatever. Can’t have a good rib barbecue without the proper breadage, so let’s make sure we have enough of the staff of life to go around.
I’ve compiled a list of email addys, and I’ll be sending directions in a day or two, along with my home address and phone number. Not everyone will get an email, since sending one to MsRobyn and Airman Doors, for instance, is a little redundant.
Any fence-sitters out there (Billdo, Ginger, yes, I’m talking to you!), remember, the cutoff date is June 1. Plenty of room, but you gotta put your oar in before the deadline.
Hey. Who you callin’ dubious? 
You’re only spotting this now, eight days after I posted it?
sheesh. :rolleyes:
Good thing you’re cute and adorable. 
I just found out Billdo will be there.
Film at eleven.
Okay, I just now emailed directions to lots of people.
If you didn’t get directions, you can:
- check with your SO to see if s/he got them
- check with the people you’re carpooling with to see if one of them got directions
- post here and axe me to email you directions
- send me an email axing for directions
Choose wisely and well.
We’re pretty much in for the Brunch the next morning, but we’ve got to be back in South Jersey by around 1 or 2, so if no one is heading that way then, we may have to arrange some kind of train-hopping.
Being Father’s Day and Verrain’s birthday makes our Sunday a bit on the busy side, but we don’t want to miss the brunchin’ for nothin’!
Count me in for the Brunch as well, then I can even take TP and Verrain home from there if they like.
Breadage…there is an excllent bread place near me where I should be able to get a few (12 or so) dozen rolls. Let me know if that would be welcome.
Meros, that sounds like a good idea.
Well, two good ideas, actually. Taking our lovely Philly couple home and bringing breadage from an excellent bread place.
Do them both.
Consider them done.
And add me as another member of the camp wondering if PayPal might be a possible means of payment.
No one is bring watermelon to a barbecue?!
Wow. I hadn’t thought of that.
Maybe I’ll ask my parents to bring it (yes, my mommy and daddy are coming to a DopeFest; everyone behave at least until they leave).
I hate to say this, but…I won’t be attending. 
The city tournament for my pool league is that weekend and I need to be there. The tournament is only once a year and you need to qualify during the year to even get in.
Only a bizarre set of circumstances will allow me to make the RibFest. Sorry Dave.
The Weird/North family includes a wee one. And we may have a smelly-head friend with us as well. I’ve booked the weekend off of work already.
The Doorses have booked a hotel room for the night at the scenic Days Inn, so please include us for brunch.
Thanks!
Robin
Okay, Frank #2 is out, WeirdDave and Ginger of the North are in (the wee one is admitted no charge, but who is the smelly-head friend?), and the Doorseses are in for brunch.
Oh, Dave and Ginger, you’ll be there for brunch too, no? It’s a long drive on an empty stomach.
It’s now official…
Bob and I both have tickets to Newark Thursday evening the twelth with a return on Sunday!
Yep, we will definitely be at the Ribfest, and at the brunch (although we may have to turn around and leave, I haven’t figured that one out yet)
You’re just gonna have to put up with us.
YYYYYEEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!
This totally RAWKS!!!
You need directions from Newark, or you still got 'em from last August?
I’m gonna update tomorrow.
Still a week to go before the list is locked, folks…
I just found out that I must be present at home on the 14th for my sister’s graduation party or I will be disowned.
If needs be the money will be sent still.
As far as breadage goes…it seems I will be unable to provide it but I will tell TP where to get it so it may be provided in my absence.
On another note this is the SECOND time my parent’s have managed to destroy my well-laid plans that I have informed them of better than a month ago.
Anyone in the Philly area want a tenant?
Meros don’t worry about the money. I haven’t ordered the ribs yet. No big deal.
Breadage won’t be that much of a problem. We have a very nice commercial bakery nearby, too, so if we need to, a carbo-run can be arranged.
You’ll be missed.
